We are looking for three actors for the world premier of (Just Like) Starting Over, to be produced by Seattle Public Theater at the historic Bathhouse on Greenlake. (Just Like) Starting Over is an important new stage play about the last day in the life of John Lennon. It is a dramatic re-enactment based largely upon an unpublished interview with John and Yoko, granted hours before John was tragically killed. This dialogue driven story has three characters – John, Yoko and the interviewer. While it isn’t a musical, some of John’s circa 1980 music will be incorporated in support of the spoken words.
(Just Like) Starting Over will run September 7 – 17th with eight performances. Rehearsals will begin the first week in August. The ideal director will have experience with dialogue oriented plays and have a passion for the subject matter. The play's unique form is comparable to works such as The Exonerated, My Dinner with Andre, The Vagina Monologues, Swimming to Cambodia, Time Flies When You're Alive.
Note: This is a self-response notification. If you fit the role criteria and are interested in this project, please see the submission info below the role description.
NOTE: ALL TALENT UNDER THE AGE OF 18 MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN AT ALL TIMES
